Welcome from the Master

A question I am often asked is, ‘what is the secret to a successful school?’ The answer of course is that success comes from a wide variety of factors. What I do know, however, is that a common denominator of a school’s success is the quality of the relationships between the staff, the students, the parents and alumni. To me it is a ‘no brainer’ that a school is greatly enhanced when it has the support and encouragement from these key groups. In most cases this relationship is the secret ingredient of a thriving school and I feel very lucky that we have such a supportive Wellington Community of students, staff, parents and OWs. This is why one of the first things I did when I arrived at Wellington was to establish the Wellington Community team in 2015 under the leadership of Murray Lindo. To have a team that is focussed on providing opportunities for all members of the Wellington Community to come together including; inspirational talks, social events, OW reunions, theatre trips, and crucially through our student and OW professional networking programme, is so important. The philanthropy of so many of the Community has been outstanding. In the last 2 years alone £10m has been donated by parents and OWs, enabling us to provide more bursary places and improve the facilities to ensure that we continue to deliver a truly inspirational education – it is a staggering achievement and a tribute to the affection that the College inspires. Being able to call on the skills, talents and passions of the Community has been key to the continued success of Wellington and will underpin the delivery of the 5 year strategy going forward. As you enjoy reading about the recent achievements of the Wellington Community it only leaves me to end by saying that, thanks to all of your efforts, ‘together we are Wellington’. Warmest wishes, Julian Thomas

MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD OF THE WELLINGTON COMMUNITY

It is such a privilege to be able to head up the Wellington Community team and I continue to be inspired by the many people I meet who make up our community. I am constantly humbled by the many and varied ways that people want to help this wonderful place; whether that is providing careers advice to students and OWs, delivering inspirational talks, giving pro-bono advice or donating to one of our widening access programmes or to help develop the facilities. We are so grateful for all that you do and the wide variety of ways in which you do it. I hope you enjoy reading about the recent achievements in this report. As you know we have a hugely ambitious new 5 year strategy and I very much look forward to working with you all during what will be a fantastically exciting new chapter ahead. With thanks and warmest wishes, Murray Lindo

Bringing the community together – something for everyone

Our annual events programme Each term we publish the Wellington Community ‘What’s On’ programme. Our aim is to provide a meaningful programme of cultural, social, educational, business and careers events so we hope that we really have got something for everyone. At the heart of the programme is a passionate belief that creating opportunities that enable us to come together as members of the Wellington Community is not just a ‘nice to have’ but is essential for the continued success of the College. A Collaborative Community We want to showcase the best of Wellington’s talents and draw on our incredible resources within the Community. That’s why so many of our events are led by members themselves; whether that’s a talk and walk through time from our fascinating Archivist; the Director of Music helping the parent choir hit those high notes, or OWs returning to offer their invaluable career and industry advice to current Wellington pupils, we truly champion the diverse skill sets our unique Community has to offer.

Providing careers advice and support How the Wellington Community is inspiring students and OWs to make the right career decisions for life

WELLINGTON CONNECT AN ONLINE POWERFUL PROFESSIONAL GLOBAL NETWORK Towards the end of 2016 we launched Wellington Connect, our very own online professional networking platform, which has generated a great deal of interest and engagement. We currently have over 2,400 members; 1,900 OWs the rest being parents and students. 88% of all members have offered some form of mentoring support highlighting the willingness of our Community. There are currently over 200 offers of work experience available through the network. Similarly, over 200 mentoring relationships have/are taking place.

THE POWER OF WELLINGTON CONNECT SUCCESS STORIES

“I was with PRESS London for 7 weeks and learnt a lot about how a start-up company can grow and thrive. I loved the team there and

was included in many aspects of the company, which gave me a rounded experience. An OW kindly put me in touch with Adam and Eve DDB advertising agency, where I have just finished my third week. I was initially invited for two but asked back for a third to help out on an upcoming pitch. I have loved it here, and definitely want to end up in the agency after uni finishes. I have been kept very busy with many briefs and competitor reviews. I am also still in touch with the OW, and he is being incredibly useful in finding me more experience, for which I am very grateful.”

Sound recording and the music business “I got in touch with the Community team to help me gain some work experience in the recording and music production field. Within a matter of days, I received multiple offers and contacts from OWs who were willing to help one of whom was Adrian Peacock*. I jumped at the opportunity that he very kindly offered to spend a week recording the Trinity College Choir in their chapel.

attended one of my top choice universities so it was also really beneficial to talk about his views on the course, and the university as well as how he operates as a freelance sound engineer. The experience was excellent and I am extremely grateful to both Adrian and everyone who was at the recording as well as to Chris Potter, the OWs and the opportunities that Wellington Connect offered to me.”

The world of advertising Thanks to connections made with fellow OWs, a 2014 OW successfully completed an internship with PRESS London, and with top advertising agency Adam and Eve DDB, famous for the John Lewis Christmas Adverts, the Lloyds TSB Black Horse, the Flintstones at Halifax, and Taste the Rainbow for Skittles.

*Adrian Peacock (OW) is an award-winning, Grammy nominated Audio Producer and an internationally acclaimed bass choral singer and soloist. Since the early 1990’s Adrian has been a freelance record producer, specialising in choral groups, with over two hundred and fifty CD’s in the catalogue. Record labels include Decca, Deutsche Grammophon, EMI, Hyperion and Signum Classics.

The experience was fascinating, in particular, the recording techniques used by the sound engineer to capture the choir as effectively as possible whilst also capturing the ambience of the vast chapel itself. Furthermore, watching and listening to the way that Adrian communicated with the Choir was especially interesting as I could see that everything he did and said was designed to bring the best out of the singers. In addition, I learnt numerous practical skills from the sound engineer that without a doubt will serve me well in the future. Everyone working on the recording was especially friendly and always willing to answer any questions I had. Interestingly, the engineer had

Making smart career choices How the Wellington Community is inspiring students and OWs to make the right career decisions for life

CAREERS SPEED NETWORKING Since 2016, thanks to parents and OWs, we have helped over 300 students with careers guidance across an amazing array of sectors and professions in a fun and informal way. We believe that careers guidance should begin as early as possible – and our regular Saturday morning careers speed networking have been very popular with the students as well as thoroughly enjoyable for the adults involved.

CAREER OPPORTUNITY GROUPS This year we have been building on some of the fantastic career support initiatives that have been developed as part of our programme for OWs. The Career Opportunity Groups (COGs) were established by the OW Society in 2015 and we now have over 20 sectors represented and have really gained momentum in recent times. As well as serving as great networking opportunities for OWs we have also started taking some of our students to these events to gain an insight into the sectors they are interested in and over the last year have had over 180 OWs plus 100 students taking part.

IN-DEPTH CAREERS NETWORKING This is a similar concept to our careers speed networking events but where we focus in more depth in one or two sectors rather than having a dozen or so professions represented. These events are targeted more towards the Lower and Upper 6th – they prepare and circulate their CV and book 15 minute sessions with the sector expert – where they have a chance to ask more detailed questions and discuss what employers are looking for from their graduates.

ANNUAL CAREERS FAIR We are so grateful to the over 50 OWs and parents that come each year to give the 6th form inspiration and advice when they are thinking about life after Wellington – this is the biggest event we run for the students and makes an enormous difference to the students to understanding more about the options they have in the future.


11

CAREERS IN FOCUS EVENINGS Along with our Saturday morning career networking events we also run events to highlight particular sectors and how they relate to what the students are studying. In Oct 2017, we ran a highly successful evening focussing on careers in the Arts. The event was held in the Art School and was kicked off with a talk from Geordie Greig, parent and Editor of The Mail on Sunday talking about how the study of the Arts is essential to the creative economy in the UK. On the night, we had parents and OWs sharing their experience of where their studying of the arts had led them; sectors represented included, PR, advertising, yacht design, art dealing, journalism, photography and more.

Developing global business networks and promoting entrepreneurship Supporting entrepreneurship at Wellington and beyond THE DISRUPT PROGRAMME INSPIRING AND HELPING ENTREPRENEURSHIP FLOURISH AT WELLINGTON The Disrupt programme was set up by the students in 2017 with the encouragement and support of Libby Fisher (HM of the Combermere) and parents particularly Hugh Chappell (parent and entrepreneur). The programme is student-led and we have been so grateful to our parent and OW entrepreneurs who have given talks, acted as mentors and run workshops. Thanks to all this work, we are already seeing some amazing young Wellingtonian entrepreneurs developing outstanding businesses.

Meraki Lifestyle Clothing merakishop.co.uk Meraki (adj.) To do something with soul, passion and creativity. To be driven and committed into the pursuit of your goals.

An interview with Charles Sin, member of Disrupt: Q What excites you about entrepreneurship? Being able to turn an idea in my mind into a reality is what excites me the most about entrepreneurship. I enjoy that total dedication to an idea, and that enthusiasm towards a belief that ‘if I am diligent enough this just might work’ involved in setting up any business.

Q Explain your business and your route to setting it up and what have you learnt? So far, I have set up three businesses. I set up my first business in the 5th form before my GCSEs. The business was called ‘Oxylus’ where I made and sold organic hair and skincare products. However, due to funding limitations, I was turned away by many suppliers. Instead, I spoke to small family-owned businesses and I discovered a small manufacturer who was willing to collaborate with me to bring some products to market. After several months I was able to push out my first range of hair and skincare products, and sold mainly to students at Wellington and friends in Hong Kong. My second and third businesses become much larger than ‘Oxylus’. In L6th, I launched ‘Meraki Lifestyle’ and ‘Meraki Nutrition’ with my two friends Michael and Omer. ‘Meraki Lifestyle’ is a contemporary lifestyle brand selling clothes. ‘Meraki Nutrition’ is a part of the Meraki ‘group’, which offers sports nutrition such as BCAAs and Whey Protein.

Q What tips would you give other young Wellingtonians? I believe that there are many entrepreneurial Wellingtonians who have some amazing ideas. My tip for anyone thinking about launching a start-up would be to plan extensively before you act. I got over-excited about my first idea and it ended in shambles because I jumped into the deep end without a Plan B. Planning can be boring, but putting together a ‘plan of action’ will help you run your business more efficiently. If you are thinking about selling products online, I would recommend either Squarespace or Shopify because they are, in my opinion, the most reliable.

Q What are your aspirations for life after Welly? My immediate goal after Wellington is to hopefully read Philosophy and Theology at Oxford. Currently, I am learning how to invest and manage my money; I might pursue that to a higher level in the future. In the long term, I honestly don’t know where I will end up, but I do hope to be able to do something positive with my life and contribute as much as I can.

MONTHLY WATERLOO STATION NETWORKING DRINKS Each month we run an informal networking event for OWs and parents on a number of themes. These are proving to be very popular and we hold them at a very convenient location in the Sports bar at Waterloo Station. What could be better than a drink and a catch up before jumping on the train home?

WELLINGTON ENTREPRENEUR EXCHANGE Another exciting development with our plans to encourage entrepreneurship across the Community is our first Wellington Entrepreneurs Exchange in March 2018. At the event, we will be bringing together students, OWs and parents who are looking for investment or mentoring for their start-up businesses with fellow OW and parent ‘Angel’ investors. We believe that this pioneering event could become one of the most exciting Community projects and will have enormous long-term benefits for all involved.

Philanthropy at Wellington Celebrating the impact and generosity of parents and OWs How the Wellington Community is changing lives through the ‘Inspire’ campaign INTRODUCTION Peter Mallinson (Pn 73-77), Vice-President and Chairman of Governors As Chairman of Governors, I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to parents, OWs and friends of Wellington College for your extraordinary support and generosity during the past year and beyond, both in terms of the donations you have made and also the support you have given in so many other ways, including your time, advice and expertise to the students and young Old Wellingtonians. Whether you have chosen to donate to our life changing bursaries or to one of our exciting capital projects, your gift to the College has helped to make Wellington the most exciting and innovative School in the UK. I am proud to witness the Wellington Community’s immense generosity and the transformational impact that this has on our students and other young people in our partner schools. On behalf of all at Wellington College, my thanks go to each of you. It has been humbling to see how the Community has responded to our two big recent capital appeals and I am delighted that not only is the building of the GW Annenberg Centre for the Performing Arts going well, I’m pleased to announce that we reached our fundraising target to build the planned Centre for Netball, Tennis and Cricket early in 2018 and building will start

in the Spring. These two remarkable buildings will not only provide our students here at College with inspiring facilities, but also will provide opportunities for our partner schools and the local community to benefit. Going forward, as you will read below, the Master and the Governors have set an ambitious objective to generate significant funds to enable more young people with talent and promise to benefit from a Wellington education – an ambition that will see us return to many of our founding principles. We will of course wish to continue to develop our world-class campus. We are in the preliminary stages of scoping how we can deliver a ground-breaking building that will integrate the teaching of science, maths, technology, engineering, design and entrepreneurship. While we look ahead to the future we also wish to cherish the past with a number of heritage projects including the renovation of the much-loved Pink Pavilion. There is still much more to accomplish and I am determined to achieve our ambitious goals and to ensure that the next stage of the ‘Inspire’ campaign will be as every bit as bold as the first. As an old boy and past and present parent, I am acutely aware that each generation of Wellingtonians and parents benefit enormously from previous generations’ philanthropy, and with your continued help and support, I am confident that we can achieve all that we have set our to do.

Changing lives by widening access Supporting the aspirations and ambitions of young people in the UK Widening access is part of our DNA at Wellington: the College was established to educate the sons of soldiers killed in action for free. While the need for this has, thankfully, diminished over the years, our ambition to ensure that children of talent and promise are able to reach their full potential is stronger than ever. We are delivering this strategic aim in a number of ways that you can read about opposite.

The most ambitious part of this work as set out by Julian Thomas is his vision to raise significant funding through the Widening Access Bursary fund (launched summer 2017) to be able to offer over 30% of our students significant means tested fee support over the next 10 years and then to double this in the following 10 years. This is a bold ambition but is absolutely central to our educational philosophy and is at the heart of our strategic plan.

“My life has changed for good, and I believe others should also benefit from the opportunity – it would be fantastic if more young people had the same opportunity as me.”

“My two years at Wellington were truly inspiring. It has given me so many incredible opportunities and experiences I couldn’t have previously imagined. A simple thanks is not enough to express my gratitude for what Wellington has given me; greater expectations of myself, more confidence in my own abilities, incredible experiences, life-long friendships and above all, a bundle of unforgettable memories”

“Low social mobility and a lack of educational opportunity is arguably the biggest social challenge of our time… not only is this an individual tragedy for every young person who fails to fulfil their potential, but it highlights a national waste of talent that threatens the future economic health of our country. The income gap between the richest and poorest in society continues to widen, while the best education opportunities are more easily accessed by children from privileged homes. There is still much more to do to make Britain a country where worth, rather than birth, defines our destinations.” Sir Peter Lampl, Wellington parent and founder of the Sutton Trust

“Wellington College is world-class and excels in developing the whole student and this is how education should be, not just about exams. Life skills are the key to success and an essential quality in business. If every talented and gifted student had access to holistic education like this, it would benefit society enormously and that is why I am passionate about supporting the Widening Access Campaign” Anthony Esse, CEO, Darwin Property and Philanthropist

Wellington College’s mission for more accessible education was highlighted this year in its ambitious 2017 RHS Chelsea Flower Show Garden. The garden highlighted the College’s ambition to break down the barriers to a life-changing education by making it possible for more young people to attend the College regardless of their financial situation. Sponsored by the boutique investment manager, Darwin Property Investment Management Limited, a passionate supporter of this progressive vision.

At the core of ‘Breaking Ground’ is the College’s belief that every child has a right to a life-changing education enabling them to reach their full potential. Central to this ambition is an educational ethos that is focussed on encouraging intellectual curiosity, on true independence, on a generous and far-reaching inclusivity and on the courage to be properly and unselfishly individual - the capacity to be inspired to become the very best you can be. Designed by Andrew Wilson and Gavin McWilliam – the erudite duo known for their daring yet thoughtful designs – the garden explores themes of progress, evolution and thought patterns.

The Wheeler Programme – inspiring young people to be bold and ambitious Thanks to the generosity and vision of Nick Wheeler, Wellington parent and founder and owner of Charles Tyrwhitt we have been able to launch a new dynamic partnership with students in our local state schools as well as those at the Wellington Academy. The Wheeler Programme is specifically designed to encourage and support ambitious aspirations in these students. Each student will participate for five years, from Year 9 to Year 13, including a week staying at the College each year as well as coming for a number of days throughout the year. The programme will support 100 students overall, joining in groups of 20 a year from 2017-2021. The pupils will continue to be educated at their existing schools while on the programme at Wellington, which is fully funded including help with travel costs.

“I believe huge benefit can be derived from small things done the right way. Too many young people today have little or no self-belief. They think they will never achieve anything with their lives. They need to understand that they are as amazing as the next person and they really can achieve whatever it is they put their mind to. They just need to believe in themselves, they need to have a passion and a real sense of purpose. It is not so hard to make a difference and I am convinced that this programme will make it possible for one hundred young people to really make a difference, to not just their own world, but also to the world of all those around them.� Nick Wheeler, Wellington parent and Founder of Charles Tyrwhitt


“Initially, before coming, I was nervous. I thought that the Wellingtonians may look down on me as I’m a student from a very different world to the girls and boys who live here. It soon became very clear that these people are really lovely to be around. It made me realise how the way I thought they were going to judge me was extremely hypocritical, as I judged them and told myself they would judge me. This experience has opened my eyes in many ways but this way has definitely made a very big imprint on my take on life. This trip has opened my eyes to what is ‘doable’ if you try. I think, specifically, meeting Mr Wheeler sparked this as he made so much happiness for himself and his family by doing something that he loves and truly cares about. I think it’s immensely inspirational. I cannot even try to thank Mr Wheeler and all the other Wheeler programme staff enough for this opportunity.”

Partnerships

WELLINGTON COLLEGE AND THE WELLINGTON ACADEMY TRUST Thanks to the generous donation of £2 million by a parent and governor of the College, and huge investment by the government, the Wellington Academy opened its doors in 2009 on the site of Castledown School and currently educates over 1,000 students. The whole community is now benefiting from this hub of learning which includes a 300-seat theatre and a dedicated Business and Enterprise suite. State Boarding provision on the Wellington Academy campus has been graded as ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted. In particular, the report commented that residential students, ‘make exceptional progress both academically and personally. They develop significant confidence and skills to progress onto chosen career paths’.

Numerous joint activities and events are organised by and for the staff and pupils of both the College and the Academy which take place throughout the year. Some have an academic focus (for example staff professional development, Maths workshops, creative writing, debating) while others are based on sports, the arts or leadership.


25

THE INDEPENDENT STATE SCHOOL PARTNERSHIP The ISSP has been running since 2008. Initially a Government-funded project linking Wellington with 19 local state schools, the project was designed to deliver enrichment activities to talented pupils in Science, Mathematics and Modern Foreign Languages. The ISSP is no longer funded by government and has adopted a selfsustaining model where the partnership is now funded by the schools themselves. There are currently 11 schools in the ISSP partnership located in the Wokingham and Surrey Heath areas. The key aims of the partnership are to raise aspirations and attainment amongst able pupils within the partnership schools, specifically to enhance confident, aspirational and active engagement in facilitating subjects. The intention is to raise pupils’

WELLINGTON TEACHING SCHOOLS PROGRAMME awareness of their own potential and to improve successful ambitious university application rates and the take-up of enrichment opportunities. As a member of the ISSP Partnership schools have access to a range of courses primarily run at Wellington College. Every year we deliver a programme of workshops and courses to over 1,000 students in years 8 -13. Courses include STEM Competitions, Personal Development Skills days, Creative Technology, Languages at Work, Masterclasses in Physics, History and English, as well as support for university applications. It is a valuable opportunity for pupils to meet and work with like-minded young people on common areas of interest outside the curriculum and is designed to enhance their personal expectations and aspirations, as well as broadening their horizons.

Wellington College was granted Teaching School status in March 2013. This followed several years of building links with other schools including projects to see the private and state sector working more closely together, such as the Independent State School Partnership (ISSP). As a Teaching School we seek to provide a continuum of professional development for staff in the education sector with the desired outcome of improving the educational attainment of pupils in all schools.

Creating a world-class innovative teaching and learning environment The GW Annenberg Centre for the Performing Arts – an inspirational home for the Arts - opening September 2018

We are excited to see the final stages of The Performing Arts Centre taking place and looking forward to being able to provide much needed space to build on the wonderful foundation which Wellington already has for the creative and expressive arts. The space will not only impact on the lives of current and future students, parents and OWs, but also will be available to other schools, theatre companies, artists and community groups.

A year in the life of a Wellington student features so many opportunities in the Arts with an astonishing range of activities in Art, Music, Drama or Dance which is perhaps unparalleled in any other school. This year has been a very busy year with over 50 concerts/recitals, 15 masterclasses, some 1,000 pieces of art exhibited and dance and drama events.

The designs that have been developed by Architects Studio Seilern have been awarded the winner in the ‘Best Building in Education’ category at the World Architecture Festival in November 2015 and is included as one of the best 27 buildings on the planet.


27

“It is a much needed building that will transform our performance with a state-of-the-art facility that will have acoustics adaptable for recitals or plays and will also be able to seat the whole school for assemblies.� Simon Williamson, Director of Arts

A new Centre for Netball, Tennis and Cricket Parents and OWs raise £2.7m to fund a new home for these popular sports – opening early 2019

Currently we offer a full sporting programme that is designed to create opportunities for all students to enjoy, whatever their level. Whilst we are dedicated to providing exciting opportunities for girls and boys to enjoy, and excel in, their chosen sports, it could be better and it’s now time to react positively to the successful move to co-education and the thirty percent increase in student numbers in recent years. With this in mind we began fundraising for a new Centre for Netball, Tennis and Cricket and thanks to your amazing generosity we are now able to start building the new Centre in Spring 2018 with a projected opening in February/March 2019.

A contemporary design, the front elevation will be clad in timber and finished with architectural mesh and planting to a height of 3m.

“The current winter term facilities are simply not up to scratch for a sport that deserves to be in the spotlight given the attitude of the girls who play and the top quality coaching they receive. Imagine our best teams playing with banked seating in an indoor netball court with all seats full. What will that do for co-ed and for girls’ sport?” Kate Pratt, Head of Netball

“The Summer term is so short and afflicted with weather and exam constraints that the new Indoor Sports Centre will provide optimal training facilities throughout the year improving player development at all levels. We are particularly excited for the opportunities this will bring to girls’ cricket and the chance to build an elite girls training programme as well as increasing the number of girls’ teams to one per year group.” Dan Pratt, Head of Cricket

“We now have a much improved coaching programme for tennis with more professional coaches involved during the summer. However, without our own indoor facilities we have to look elsewhere to secure indoor space during the winter months which is not only costly but also travelling time is consuming and we are only able to offer this to our top players. With this new facility we would be able to offer year round coaching not only to our top players but to a much wider range of players.” Gary Drake, Head of Tennis

The Wellington College Community Report

Heritage – restoring, conserving and celebrating our amazing heritage At Wellington we have a truly remarkable heritage that we are extremely proud of. It has been an area that has been given more resource to ensure that we are celebrating and preserving the amazing collection of artefacts, paintings and archives that we have. Last year we recruited a professional archivist who has undertaken a full audit of our artefacts, archives and paintings and we are now able to make

some informed choices about how we make the most of what we have and how best to use the collection to engage all members of the College Community with our unique history and heritage. Our heritage work is greatly enhanced by the Heritage Steering Group and we have established a ‘Friends of Wellington Heritage’ group to encourage small regular gifts by promoting our heritage by hosting an annual Heritage Day at the College.

WELLINGTON COLLEGE’S CHARITABLE OBJECTIVES Wellington College has always had a strong focus on its charitable objectives. These activities and plans in this area are based on the following principles: 

 

The School is committed to broadening its intake to include children of families who could not otherwise afford an independent education through an enhanced bursaries programme and to deliver other initiatives that support aspiration and ambition with students in the wider community, including its sponsorship of Wellington College Academy Trust, Teaching Schools initiative and the Independent State School Partnership activities. The School will always strive to maximise the value it obtains when deploying its charitable funds and assets. Wellington recognises that an essential component in facilitating fund raising is that the School itself must offer the highest standard of education. It is this excellence that is a key factor in attracting supporters. This requires that the School is; run on a sound long term financial basis, is able to compete with other similar schools, including being able to attract the most talented pupils in order to maintain its all-round excellence whilst attracting and retaining the most talented staff.

WELLINGTON COLLEGE GROUP STRUCTURE AND RELATIONSHIPS The Charity has 2 wholly owned non-charitable subsidiaries as well as 4 trust funds which provide scholarships and bursaries to the College. The investment of these funds is managed by Schroder & Co Ltd and the performance of the funds is overseen by the governors on the Investment Committee. Wellington College Enterprises Limited, whose business activities include construction and the provision of leisure and retail services. Profits are gift aided to the College’s Trust Funds specifically to fund bursary awards. Wellington College International Limited which operates in the furtherance of the College’s developments overseas. Profits are gift aided to the College’s Trust Funds with a majority of the income directed towards our bursary awards. The Heritage Fund was established in 1992 by the Governors out of the proceeds from the sale of some capital assets of the College and a donation from an Old Wellingtonian. It is used for the permanent enhancement of the College and for bursaries.

The Fisher Endowment was instituted in 1978 in memory of a former Master, to provide for bursaries and scholarships. The Combined Trust Funds consist of a number of individual trust and prize funds set up by individual donors for scholarships, prizes and bursaries and also include the Foundation Capital which represents the original endowment to provide education to children of deceased commissioned service officers. The Prince Albert Foundation has been set up to receive donations directed at the provision of life changing bursaries for pupils who would not otherwise be able to attend the College.

RECOGNISING YOUR SUPPORT Wellington College was built on the vision and generosity of philanthropic support and every gift no matter what the size is gratefully received. We are thrilled to see so many of you giving on a regular basis over a number of years as this way of giving helps College with its long-term planning whilst making an immediate impact on the opportunities we can create for our students. If 15% of all OWs and parents gave £15 a month for 5 years we could raise over £1million towards our widening access campaign. If you would like to join our regular giving programme please do get in touch. We want giving to College to be an enjoyable and sociable experience and to this end, have established a number of giving groups and networks that aim to bring together like-minded individuals at bespoke events and activities throughout the year. All donors will be acknowledged in our publications and each year will be invited to a drinks reception hosted by the Master. The Waterloo Society – leaving a footprint on the future The Waterloo Society is for those who have made a commitment to support the College with a legacy gift and those who have indicated they would like to be a member will be invited, along with their family, to special events throughout the year. We are currently reviewing our legacy fundraising and with this in mind we recently invited some OWs to attend a series of discussion groups to help us gain an understanding of the thoughts and concerns around legacy fundraising. We had a tremendous response and the discussion which we had will certainly help us develop our legacy campaign much more effectively, which we plan to launch this year. Thank you to all those who took part.
